Hillhouse Industrial & Marine, Inc has been in the Batching Control business since 1984, supplying service, repair, and parts for feedmill and asphalt batching plants including repairing so called “obsolete” systems. When it comes to service, we realize the importance of minimizing down time. We now have our own Batching System which is economical and includes a true backup. A system without true manual controls relies 100% on the PC and PLC to fully operate in automatic and in, what is called by your batch control supplier, “manual”. But a true manual is one that switches the equipment on and off directly without the PC and the PLC by using switches. If your system goes down, you may have to wait for it to be repaired before even the simplest device can be turned on or off. Even a scale gate may not be able to be opened unless the system is fully operational with most of today’s designs. Our panels are UL listed and can be easily installed by your onsite electrician or by us. The backup panels are extremely valuable in the motor starter rooms
